Does anyone have or is aware of a free simple buy and sell button EA (not script) with mql file (so that it can be edited with own MM)...

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the post and contribution.

I should have mentioned that I'm also looking for an mql file it since I plan to modify the MM and lot sizing per order. Just need to buttons to work and send the trades, the rest I plan to modify.

Thanks anyway.

Hello,
This is the code that I use when I have to open trades manually when testing in the strategy tester. Unfortunately OnChartEvent doesn't work in the tester, so I have to have it in OnTick

By removing the tester condition and moving the order code to OnChartEvent, it should work on a live chart

Okay, i just found a useful script yesterday credited to the author @Sangmane. This is quite have fun and perfect script (have tested it today on demo) http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...59#post8547559
I think u can adjust it with anything your rule, MM or fixed size.
No Button, but a dropdown order type list.

Have fun bro.

I think others can/will check it out and benefit from your suggestion.

For myself, I think I'll look into the mq4 from the previous post above yours posted by Poruchik (thank you Poruchik for the info).

I need/want a button and an mq4 expert file not script so I can leave it on a live chart and use it to manually scalp/swing trade with my own MM algo. Don't want to mess around with dropping a script into a chart every time I want to open an order.

There's been a few folks checking this thread out so whatever posts/files others include, I'm sure they will help other folks looking for something similar.

Does anyone know how to add a trailing stop function to this code? I have been trying, but for some reason I just can't get to work. Any help appreciated!

Hello,

My proposal is the attached EA that is not opening orders but will help traders to place buy/sell orders predefined with SL/TP/trailing stop. Very useful in testing skills.
Enjoy!
